Radisson Hotel opens in Normal

After 10 years in the dark, the curtains have been pulled again on a newly refurbished hotel in Normal.

The Radisson on Traders Circle near I-55 and Main Street is reopened after an $18 million facelift that included an updated swimming pool and fitness center, plus a ballroom for big events and a new restaurant, Traders Grill.

The hotel opened a few weeks ago and had a grand opening celebration on Thursday.
